Elizabeth Hurley Biography

Elizabeth Hurley wanted to become a dancer when she was a child, but she has accomplished so much more.

Hurley became well-known due to her association with fellow Brit Hugh Grant.

The revealing dress she wore when she accompanied him to the premiere of Four Weddings and a Funeral created quite a stir.

Shortly after that, she and Hugh were hounded by the press when news broke of his arrest in the company of a certain streetwalker.


Hurley founded a film production house, Simian Films, with Hugh. She coproduced Extreme Measures in 1996 and Mickey Blue Eyes in 1999, both of which starred Hugh. Liz suits the role of executive, but we still want to see her in front of the camera.

Her acting career and public profile skyrocketed after her appearance in the first Austin Powers film in 1997.

Since then, she has appeared in about 10 more films and was ranked as the fourth greatest British film actress in the Orange Film Survey of 2001.

Hollywood star Natalie Portman

I remember when she was young. She looked very nice even at age of 11.

Natalie Portman

Natalie Portman was born on June 9th, 1981 in Jerusalem, Israel, as the only child of a doctor father (from Israel) and an artist mother (from Cincinnati, Ohio), who also acts as Natalie's agent. She left Israel for Washington, DC, when she was still very young.

After a few more moves, her family finally settled in New York, where she still lives to this day. She graduated with honors, and her academic achievements allowed her to attend Harvard.

She was discovered by an agent in a pizza parlor at the age of 11. She was pushed towards a career in modeling but she decided that she would rather pursue a career in acting. She was featured in many live performances, but she made her powerful film debut in the movie Leon (1994) (aka "The Professional").

Following this role Natalie won roles in such films as Heat (1995), Beautiful Girls (1996), and Mars Attacks (1996).

It wasn't until 1999 that Natalie received worldwide fame as Queen Amidala in the highly anticipated US$431 million-grossing prequel Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (1999).

Afterwards, she starred in two critically acclaimed comedy dramas, Anywhere But Here (1999), Where the Heart is (2000), and Closer (2004/I), for which she received an Oscar nomination
